Inside info on Trevor Booker

GVC said:
Kanter played a bunch of minutes at the 5 last season with Evans/Marvin. Gobert could take some of those minutes. If all 48 minutes at the 5 are going to Favors/Gobert, and Booker/Evans/Novak/Hayward are all options at the 4, as opposed to just Evans/Marvin last season, Kanter will have to play a lot better to increase his minutes.

Keep in mind, Kanter was 106th in the NBA in minutes last season (solid starter minutes), playing on a team with less depth. Gobert played only 434 minutes as well. There's no guarantee Kanter plays 2000+ minutes this season, especially if Quin is serious about playing a Spurs/Hawks style, with loads of ball and player movement, and emphasizing (team) defense. At this point, Kanter's a poor man's Al Jefferson, who's pretty much the antithesis of Quin's stated philosophy.

And that's why DL had publicly promised us that they will experiment with Kanter shooting 3's this year, starting from the corners and working his way to the longer parts of the perimeter. He has solid mechanics, and a nice touch. The way he has been playing defense, if he doesn't make that 3pt shot, I don't know if he's gonna be back next year.
 
Favors and Kanter get bad raps as bad passers.The offense I watched Utah play last year didn't hilite these guys in a ball moving ,lots of player movement offense.
Favors and Kanter have just never had an opportunity to play in a offense with player and ball movement, playing for the Jazz.
The players of importance that played in SL (Hood,Burke,Gobert,Exum )all liked the way the ball moved and felt more freedom.Why wouldn't Kanter and Favors feel the same freedom in Coach Snyder's offense as well.
I'ts a farce to carry last years stats to this year when the offense and defense differs so much.

Who said anything about stats? Kanter doesn't make quick reads or decisions. His overall feel on both ends is poor. Even with his lack of experience, I don't think it's fair to think such a profound weakness will turn into a strength.
 
It's going to be difficult to evaluate these guys until we actually see them in the new system. Unfortunately, I still don't think that we know what we have in these young players. With an innovative system and competent coaching, we may have a great core, or we may find that the core will end up being untapped potential. I hate to say it, but we may need to be patient a little longer.

And it's not to bright to think a weakness is to stay a weakness with young players either. Gobert just turned 22 and you saw a big change in him from age 21 to 22.Now his game is being looked at differently.It's stupid to think that Kanter isn't going to improve his own game as well.
When you visibly see these young players get physically stronger and better from 21 to 22 or 22 to 23 ,such as Gobert ,Favors ,Burke, and Burks ,and then think Kanter is the only one thats going to stay the same then it starts to smell of bias against Kanter.

My contacts within the training staff (not GB that fat ***) tell me Trevor Booker shows up angry and in shape like a mafia fool. KGB bros.
He's pissed nobody gave him 4/32+ deal. More pissed at Washington.
Said hes going to tear out throats when they visit D.C.

My friends, they are certain Booker will start over Kanter because he is more hungry. They say Kanter is bye bye.

All of that improved as last season progressed.

I hate to agree with a post that spells highlight "hilite" but I will.
